Resolve Earthworks & Environmental Ltd. was awarded the contract to remediate and remove contaminated materials surrounding an operational high-pressure pipeline (100 psi). The project was completed early winter, whereby cold evenings required the safeguard and temperature regulation of the exposed pipeline. Resolve was able to keep the project operational with minimal days lost due to any inclement weather.

Resolve was awarded the project based on its overall price and proposed work plan, as well as its safety record and proven capabilities on similar projects.

The project scope included the following:

• Coordination with environmental consultant to develop the most cost-effective work plan to complete the remedial activities.

• Perform multiple test pits on site to delineate extent of impacts and corroborate excavation areas.

• Hydrovac targeted areas to ascertain pipeline depth and location.

• The careful excavation to expose the buried high-pressure line, and the use of pipeline pillows to protect position and structural integrity.

• Excavate, stockpile, transport, and dispose ~3,500 tonnes of impacted soils to a Class II landfill. Multiple rounds of excavation and sampling required to remove numerous hot spots of contamination.

• Source suitable backfill materials, in addition to; sand to surround the pipeline - per pipeline consultant’s request.

• Import, place, and pack imported clean fill in all excavated areas.

• Site contouring to match surrounding topography.

• Seed area for finished result.
